October 2026

The children in Rabbit Class are really enjoying their phonics learning and are excited every morning to find out what sound they are learning each day.  The children have enjoyed practising their sounds as they play in our school role play being the teacher.

   . 

.  

In maths, we have introduced the children to subitising, an essential maths skill for developing composition of numbers.  The children use their 'fast eyes' to say the amount of objects/dots they see, they don't count and  also represent each amount on their fingers.

   . 

Subitising and copying dice patterns.

. 

Have a go at home. 

"Fast eyes, don't count, say the amount!

 Saying what you notice, 'I have 3 dinosaurs', 'I see 1 cherry on the cake', 'The car has 4 wheels, 2 here and 2 here'.

The children are really enjoying taking turns on our interactive whiteboard, where they are learning to play games and draw by clicking on icons to make things happen.

Protected Characteristics

This month we have been reading the book 'You Choose'.  This is one of our 'Protected Characteristic' books which promotes children saying what they think and having a choice. 

We have also been talking about keeping safe when we are 'online' and enjoyed discussing what "clicking chicken' got up to on the computer.  

One night, Chick hops into the farmer's house and has a browse on his computer - CLICK - soon she's shopping online for the whole farm! But when she arranges to meet up with a friend she's made online, she discovers all is not as it seems...

International week

​

 

The week before half-term was international week.  The children enjoyed learning about the country Belgium.  They particularly enjoyed cooking and tasting Belgium waffles.​

We found Belgium on a world map and the globe and discussed how we would travel to Belgium.

 

We found out that football is a popular sport in Belgium, and it is where The Smurfs came from.  In Belgium, people speak French, German and Dutch.

 

Belgium is famous for Belgium chocolate, Belgium chocolate and fries with mayonnaise – yummy!

September 2026

Welcome back and welcome to our new children and families.  The children in Rabbit Class are settling in very well to life at school, exploring their new classroom and garden, learning new routines, making new friends and are developing their listening skills, which are so important for learning.  The children enjoyed playing and seeing their older siblings, cousins and friends too.

The children have adapted to having lunch at school really well, trying new foods and trying to use their knives and forks.  They are particularly enjoying the desserts!

See photos below of our happy, settled children.
